Mempho Music Festival Announces Lineup for Ninth Year, Headlined by Pretty Lights and Widespread Panic

June 11, 2026

Mempho Presents has revealed that the Mempho Music Festival will return for its ninth year to the Radians Amphitheater at Memphis Botanic Garden from October 9–11, 2026. The festival's lineup includes headliner Pretty Lights on Friday, with Widespread Panic set to close the weekend on Saturday and Sunday, following a successful two-night performance at last year's festival.

Producer Jeff Bransford stated, "We set out every year to build a lineup that crosses genres the way Memphis always has. This lineup has something for everyone, and that's what Mempho is all about — bringing fans together around great music."

Additional performers scheduled for the festival include Grammy-winning bassist and Memphis native MonoNeon, Maggie Rose, Dumpstaphunk, Sierra Hull, Randall Bramblett Band, and a special guest appearance by legendary keyboardist Chuck Leavell. Local artists such as Devil Train, Zoë Dominguez, and Degenerate Breakfast will also perform.

This year's festival will reintroduce the Incendia Dome, featuring an interactive environment that combines art, design, and science. The silent disco, a signature event at the festival, will operate late into the night within the Dome, allowing DJs to play directly to attendees' headphones.

Festivalgoers can expect a variety of food and beverage vendors and partnerships with local nonprofit organizations. The festival will continue its Charity Auction in collaboration with Positive Legacy, offering fans the chance to bid on items like autographed memorabilia and unique artist experiences, benefiting Memphis nonprofits.

New for 2026 are two upgraded ticket options, GA+ and Platinum, providing attendees with enhanced experiences. General Admission tickets are currently available for purchase, with three-day passes priced from $269 to $2,200 and single-day tickets ranging from $139 to $900. Payment plans are also offered to help fans secure their tickets.
